The world-renowned Michigan State University College of Communication 
Arts and Sciences invites applications to its top-rated Information and 
Media (I&M) doctoral program.  We anticipate 12 student positions for 
the 2020-2021 student cohort, with a stipend of $18,500 per academic 
year, an 18-credit tuition waiver (worth $27,292), student health 
insurance and $1000 travel support to conferences. Students accepted 
into the I&M program are guaranteed 3 years of funding. For information 
about how to apply see https://comartsci.msu.edu/information-media-phd 
or contact Dr. Patricia Huddleston at (huddles2 /at/ msu.edu).

Three highly ranked academic units of MSU College of Communication Arts 
and Sciences participate: the Department of Advertising + Public 
Relations, the School of Journalism and the Department of Media and 
Information. This interdisciplinary program integrates the social 
sciences, media and socio-technical systems. The faculty represent 
specializations in communication, advertising, public relations, 
journalism, economics, information studies, sociology, law, marketing 
and computer science. The faculty and alumni of the College include more 
Fellows in the International Communication Association than any other 
program.

Students learn how to generate independent hypotheses and research 
designs, the critical importance of real-world relevancy in framing 
esearch studies and the art of working with multidisciplinary research 
teams. The I&M Ph.D. prepares students to become scholars, teachers and 
leaders. Graduates of the I&M PhD become leaders in academia, 
government, and industry.
